A pair of the Hyattsville Community Arts Alliance's own will be featured at
the Zimstone Gallery:

"Converging Cultural Tapestries is a synergy of heritage, showcasing two
painters who share the enjoyment of colorful portrayals of very different
cultural experiences, yet are able to find common ground in a collaborative
effort, in addition to showcasing their own unique artistic styles.? (Cave)

Join us as the exciting exhibit opens Saturday, January 21st at 4 pm.

The Hyattsville Branch is excited to offer monthly screenings of independent films from our audio-visual collection. In partnership with the locally-based Global Film and Humanities Project, Prince George’s County Arts and Humanities Council and the Friends of the Hyattsville Library, our goal is to bring alternative film experiences to the residents of Prince George’s County.  The evenings will conclude with a facilitated discussion with local filmmaker, Andrew Millington.

Documentary (79 min.)

Four newborn children, in four different environments, are followed from birth to their first birthday. Two of them are from the urban first-worlds of San Francisco and Tokyo; one grows up among nomadic Mongolian herders and another in a Namibian hut.
